GILDA testbed GILDA Certification Authority GILDA Certification Authority User Support and Training Services in IGI IGI Site Administrators IGI Users IGI Software Developers (Second Level) IGI ROD (First Level) Based on a open source tool(XOOPS/xHelp) Interfaced via SOAP WSwith the GGUS The IGI HelpDesk supports both national and international users and VOs together with the IGI resource site managers. Tickets opened by external users, and EGI operations teams are routed inside the IGI HelpDesk through the GGUS The first level support is organized in weekly shifts.The sites are monitored using Nagios tests and, in case of problems, ticketsare opened and a first help is provided.The second Level support is provided by specialized teams both from theoperations and from the middleware developers. IGI (Italian Grid Initiative) is developing a web portal to ease the access to grid and cloud services; The main goal is to hide the “complexity” of X.509 certificates (request and management); IGTF policies and guidelines have been taken into account when designing the framework.

The VO is deployed in the whole GILDA testbed GILDA offers in its web site a series of exercises, hands-on supporting the training process. Since 2011, the GILDA web site has been re- engineered using Liferay as portlet container, moving forward towards Science Gateway paradigm https://gilda.ct.infn.it Used to handle Grid Credentials in a easy way, lightweight and web-affine manner Generate a Grid Credential from a requestID Copy and paste this URL to get your proxy! Based on Jersey, the open source, production quality JAX-RS (JSR 311) Reference Implementation for building RESTful Web services; Java #PKCS#11, CoG-Kit, Bouncy Castle and VOMS-APIs libraries; Thread-safe access to the list of smart cards; SSL encryption based on trusted host certificate; eToken PRO 32/64KBytes smart cards; Caching of proxy certificates for each valid requestID = serial + vo + fqan. For Job Submission and Data Management tasks, the portal uses WS-PGrade (MTA- SZTAKI); Other solutions are under investigation: e.g.: JSAGA (IN2P3); For Job Submission and Data Management tasks, the portal uses WS-PGrade (MTA- SZTAKI); Other solutions are under investigation: e.g.: JSAGA (IN2P3); For Cloud resource provisioning the portal is interfaced with WNoDES (INFN- CNAF); VOMS My-proxy server voms-proxy-init myproxy-init GRID Cloud First access Configurations Authentication FEDERATION CA online MICS WAYF 2 Web Portal CA online bridge Cloud Bridge Job Submission Data Management Accounting Grid accounting system 1 1 3 4 4 Igi general purpose portal to easily access the Grid The GILDA training infrastructure Igi user support and Helpdesk Model RESTful “lightweight”crypto library API A consolidated Work-plan for application porting
